Christmas lunch in a favourite restaurant on the Canbière for a group of us from AMA Marseille and friends. A rather nice Chateau Barbebelle (Coteaux d’Aix) red wine.

Followed by a walk in the winter sunshine and clear sky, the air kept very clear by a chilling Mistral like a blast freezer. Here are some photos of the Vieux Port, Le Panier and the classic Haussmann style buildings that give Marseille so much of its architectural character.
